I heard some old mates were on this forum, so I guess this is my hello message! G’day everyone, ex Joeys scrum half here, Ian, looking forward to some top footy discussion and a bit of banter

Definitely Shore with the Galtitude out for what could be 8 weeks.

Tough for the lad on the back of what I understand was rowing injuries that impacted the HOTR preparations- and now an ankle not great for him. BUT has to focus on getting healthy vs rushing l back as it’s important to walk and run post school!! Yes we all love GPS rugby but sports careers can continue. Shore lost its captain if I am right a few years back and I hear he is playing colts / club rugby now so there are similar hard luck stories.

Very True, Lachie Thorpe (E) SHORE rugby captain '22 was injured in round 1. Didn't play again that season, but back playing now.

Galligan definitely does not want to rush back after this injury and reaggravate it.

Well, what I do know is their going up against a strong Shore 3s team who are in form at the moment. The game is at Weigall, though, so they have the home ground advantage, keen to see what plays out over there in Rushcutters Bay....

do we think kings are a threat to the title this year ? they don't seem as aggressive as they have been in previous years.....

I personally dont think they have a chance as they lost this week to view 46-26. I personally think the Newington team has the best chance.

Hey everyone, class of 05' Newo boy here, not sure if anyone remembers Lachie Turner, but shared a bev (or 10) last week reflecting on the glory days, heard the boys look strong this year, who are the ones to watch, especially after putting Joey's to the sword last week.

I wouldn‘t write Kings off just yet. The style of Rugby they played last weekend was
IIke the White was in knee deep mud. Never was never will be. All opens down to 16A’s played with a similar game plan resulting in some deserved losses. One thing we can agree on it’s going to be a super tight season!

Howdy chaps...a Joeys old boy through and through here. @fuber watched the game and thought your newington boys simply outclassed Joeys all day. Is this the downfall of my beloved Joeys side after so many years of glory?? Not sure how good the youth is going at the moment..

Signing off, the Scrum Champion,

Fuber, shame our paths never crossed.

Whilst there is little sustenance in respect to "football" in your message, yes the Newington boys do look strong this year. It seems that against all odds they have become the team to beat. My only concern for the Newington boys is how they face up against Shore this coming week.

With some possible outs and playing a near-strength Shore side, how will they fair?

Faithfully,

It will be interesting to see how the Newo boys show up on the weekend, some key outs indeed but a good chance to blood in some youth from the 2s and 16As. As for shore, even though they won last year they seem to be pretty week this year but you can never count the boys from Northbridge out.

Hopefully should be a good game played in the right spirit and may the best team win!!
